Re: Hardware recomendations for VR

Which means you've spent more than most! :D I remember matrox cards, they were great. Replaced mine with a PowerVR card. Yeah, wiped out our national debt that year. When I upgraded to a 28.8 modem the FBI started checking up on me and Brehznev! :lol: Still, a 30mb download meant "check it in the m...

Re: Hardware recomendations for VR

Was high and empty beer cans were plentiful. :D I recall replacing my Orchid 3d GPU with a Matrox gpu which had a whopping 8 megs of ram versus the Orchid's 2 megs. Hot stuff!

However, as you say money is always a consideration and i think your advi...

Re: Steam Account Stolen HELP!!

Hello Toast, Sorry to read about your account being stolen. I contacted Steam directly,and explained the problem. I was given a ticket# for followup.

Re: Luftwaffe repair station in France

thanks for sharing, Ginger. It's an interesting video. I wondered if there was any sabotage from the workforce.

A name from the past is active again(?).

http://www.microprose.com/

Re: TFS 5.0 Alpha Gun Cam Action!

Halloooooooooooo Pattle! :hi: thanks for sharing the video. Looking good, there. It'll be interesting to me to see how the damage modeling gets on. Maybe a new video at the correct time to show off new damage features?
Appreciating what you do,
